Topic: Documentation (Read 44079 times)

If a new user of Oxygen Basic were to look at and compile the examples provide in the distribution, there should be no reason one couldn't be productive with the BASIC. Waiting for professional written docs to materialize anytime soon isn't being realistic.

I think good search tools are the key, rather than static documentation. Assuming we will end up with thousands of examples, (currently 1200+), programmers should be able to locate any piece of code that approximates their needs. I find I'm writing far less original code now. It's mostly copy, paste, and adapt.

Oxygen_help.chm is currently more like a dictionary than a full manual. It's contents are sourced from inf\o2keyw.dat, a database of o2 keywords with various links to included examples.

Every contribution to the project by the community matures the BASIC. I think you should dedicate more time toward your English speaking skills which will make your programming topics easier to swallow.
